A Rubber Duck. A Lazy River and a Finish Line.

We're excited to bring back the Cool School Penguin Plunge and return to the lazy river!

What is the Cool School Penguin Plunge?

The Cool School Penguin Plunge is a statewide collaborative fundraiser that offers both virtual and in-person engagement opportunities. Students will have the opportunity to register, raise funds and earn penguins (rubber ducks) that will waddle to the water on February 4 and race around the lazy river to be crowned King or Queen of the colony!

How to become a Plunger

Register! Gather your flock, create your team, and sign up to be a part of the Penguin Plunge. Once registered it's time to Go All In with your fundraising efforts.

Fundraise
Participants can earn the 2022 Cool School Penguin Plunge tee, the Polar Plunge towel and more as they reach fundraising milestones. As you increase your fundraising you'll earn more penguins along the way too! Your school can also reach milestones to earn more penguins. Don't forget, the funds you raise support 23,000 Special Olympics Virginia athletes and your school.

What’s Your Why?
Join the Inclusion Revolution and share your fundraising link with family and friends. You earn community service hours for every minute you spend on your Plunge mission, and earn penguins for each teammate you recruit!

Celebrate
Tune into our Facebook page / Website on February 4 at 11 AM to watch the penguins make a splash in the lazy river. The penguins will race around the river and the first to finish will be named King of the Colony, winning a dunk tank for their school!
